From YouTube: MAY 11 2023 Question Period
Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
C
Mr
Speaker
Mr
Speaker
another
day,
another
new
revelation
in
the
premier's
BC
housing
scandal
on
multiple
occasions
yesterday
during
question
period
and
then
when
I
questioned
him
during
premier's
estimates,
this
Premier
fervently
denied
the
existence
of
a
third
Ernst
young
report.
His
exact
words
were,
and
I
quote,
I'm
not
aware
of
a
third
report,
end
of
quote,
but
then
all
of
a
sudden
10
minutes
later
a
miracle.
His
memory
was
refreshed.
Isn't
that
remarkable?
C
Usually
it
takes
the
premier
24
hours
before
he
refreshes
his
memory
as
he
did
when
he
denied
knowing
about
the
earlier
very
damning
BDO
report
on
BC
housing.
This
previously
unknown
third
Ernst
young
report,
which
has
never
seen
the
light
of
day,
remains
hidden
behind
a
web
of
non-disclosure
agreements
that
this
Premier
will
housing,
Minister
forced
on
the
former
board
members
of
BC
housing.
So
my
question
to
the
premier
with
the
total
mismanagement
that
has
happened
under
his
watch.
While
he
was
the
housing
Minister
response
possible
for
BC
housing.
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
when
I
was
appointed
housing.
Minister
I
was
apparent
to
me
that
we
needed
an
external
team
to
come
in
and
do
a
review
of
BC
housing
to
make
sure
that
controls
were
in
place.
Ernst
young
was
the
firm
that
was
retained
after
I
directed
the
public
service.
To
do
that
they
came
in.
They
did
an
extensive
review
at
BC
housing.
Their
report
was
published
during
that
work.
E
Individuals
from
BC
housing
came
forward
with
very
serious
allegations
with
information
to
the
review
team,
about
systematic
efforts
by
the
then
CEO
to
avoid
the
conflict
of
interest
agreement
that
was
meant
to
regulate
his
relationship
with
his
partner,
who
was
the
CEO
of
attira.
They
were
supposed
to
stay
clear
of
that
conflict
of
interest
and
what
they
found
was
that
wasn't
happening.
E
They
provided
information
to
me,
that
was
a
profound
concern
was
provided
through
the
public
service.
It
caused
the
former
Finance
Minister
myself
to
approach
the
Comptroller
General,
specifically
Ernst
young,
said
that
they
had
preliminary
findings
but
that
they
weren't
done
to
a
forensic
standard
that
they
wanted
to
be
able
to
continue
the
work
that
they
needed.
The
scope
in
their
instructions
to
be
able
to
continue
that
work.
The
Comptroller
General
retained
Ernst
young
to
continue
that
work
to
do
it
to
a
forensic
standard,
so
it
could
be
released.
E
The
member
is
looking
for
the
information
he
has
it
in
the
report
that
was
released
for
the
first
time
in
30
years
in
this
legislature,
under
a
public
interest
provision.
The
reason
why
we
were
able
to
do
that
honorable
chair
is
because
we
followed
all
the
necessary
steps.
All
of
the
legal
advice,
all
the
advice
of
the
Auditors,
to
do
this
properly
at
every
step,
to
tell
British
Columbians
to
tell
the
opposition
every
member
of
this
house
so
that
they
know
what
happened
and
what
we're
doing
about
it.
C
Well,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
through
to
the
premium.
Well,
the
problem
is
Premier.
Nobody
believes
that
explanation.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
for
over
five
years
you
sat
on
top
of
an
another
BDO
damning
report
on
BC
housing.
Never
acknowledge
that
existence
until
it
was
leaked,
then
the
premier
had
through
BC
housing
issue,
a
very
misleading
statement,
saying:
oh
no,
those
issues
were
all
addressed.
Then,
when
I
raised
the
issue
in
this
house,
he
professed
to
not
know
about
the
BDO
report.
C
Then
24
hours
later,
he
suddenly
refreshed
his
memory
and
he
acknowledged
that
there
was
a
report.
Now
we've
got
a
third
report
that
the
premier
has
had
in
his
possession
the
entire
time
that
he's
refused
to
make
public
and
the
question
we
are
asking
in
the
midst
of
this
BC
housing
Scandal,
where
the
public
is
demanding
answers.
Why
won't
this
Premier
release
that
report
and
give
the
public
the
opportunity
to
see
the
full
scale
of
the
disaster
that
you
oversaw?
Well,
you
were
the.
C
So
Mr
Speaker,
apart
from
the
fact
that
we
are
seeing
these
terrible
results
and
outcomes
in
all
of
the
housing
programs
that
this
government
has
brought
forward
thus
far
and
we're
seeing
record
homelessness
in
virtually
every
community
in
this
province.
We
still
have
to
recognize
that
this
Premier
then
Minister
responsible
his
abject
failure
as
a
housing
Minister.
Well,
he
sat
on
top
of
numerous
scathing
reports,
while
the
drum
beat
and
the
alarms
were
going
off
about
all
the
challenges
at
BC
housing
in
atira.
E
Bear
thank
you.
Honorable
chair,
you
know,
I
think.
The
most
bizarre
part
of
the
leader
of
the
opposition's
theory
is
that
I
received
a
report
from
BDO
about
mismanagement
that
took
place
under
the
watch
of
the
BC
liberals
and
that
I
hid
that
report.
It's
bizarre
honorable
chair.
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
and
it
is
part
of
a
pattern.
Though
there
were
a
number
of
reports
that
were
commissioned
by
the
BC
liberals
when
they
were
in
government
that
they
did
not
release.
There
was
a
report
about
money
laundering.
E
There
was
a
report.
There
was
a
report
about
ICBC
where
Pages
were
literally
ripped
out
and
they
were
not
released,
and
there
was
this
BDO
report
that
nobody
knew
about
honorable
chair
and
remember.
The
opposition
apparently
knew
about
issues
with
atira
to
the
point.
They
actually
retained
this
firm
to
do
this
work
commissioned
this
report.
I
can
assure
you
on
a
member
that
that
would
have
been
helpful
information,
but
as
soon
as
I
identified
an
issue
because
that
information
was
brought
to
me
by
Emy,
we
took
action.
E
A
team
was
literally
flown
a
public
expense
from
Toronto
forensic
investigators
to
mirror
devices,
to
secure
databases
to
collect
the
information
to
do
the
investigation
to
a
forensic
standard,
so
we
could
release
it
to
this
place.
There
is
one
point
that
the
member
and
I
do
agree
on,
though,
and
that
is
that
we
are
in
a
housing
crisis
and
we
need
to
act
quickly.
We
need
to
build
housing
for
people
and
we're
doing
that.
Work.
E
E
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
obedio
gave
the
report
to
the
government
in
BC
Helsing
in
2018
when
they
were
in
government.
So
a
nice
try
from
the
minister
or
the
premier
trying
to
say
we
were
hiding
some
report,
but
Mr
Speaker.
The
reason
these
answers
don't
Stack
Up
and
the
people
don't
believe
the
premier
is
because
daily
there's
a
new
wrinkle
to
what's
going
on
with
his
BC
housing
Scandal.
F
We
now
know
that
a
tira-based
housing
makes
up
a
quarter
of
all
issues
listed
in
the
city
of
Vancouver's,
Building,
Safety
database
of
infractions,
and
over
the
last
year
there
were
75
fires
in
the
last
year
alone,
Mr
Speaker,
at
a
Tierra
properties
displacing
over
360
people.
In
fact
the
devastating
fire
at
the
Winter's
Hotel.
F
While
this
Premier
was
the
housing
Minister
resulted
in
two
fatalities
when
the
atira
managed
building
burned
to
the
ground,
with
a
working
Sprinklers
and
proper
fire
extinguishers,
Mr
Speaker,
despite
all
the
warning
signs
and
all
the
reports
detailing
Financial
mismanagement
of
taxpayer
dollars
and
the
lack
of
proper
maintenance
of
critical
fire
safety
equipment.
Why
has
there
been
zero
consequences
and
zero
accountability
for
this
Premier
and
his
BC
housing
scandal.
A
Thank
you
so
much
honor,
speaker
and
and
I
think
everyone
in
this
house
understands
that
whenever
someone
loses
their
life
in
any
incident,
it
hits
Us
close
to
home.
Certainly
the
two
people
who
pass
away
for
the
winters
hotel
is
devastating.
It's
devastating
for
the
community.
It's
devastating
for
all
of
us
in
this
chamber.
The
member
knows
that
right
now
they
have
a
court
case
they're
in
front
of
the
courts,
with
legal
action
against
Terra.
So
I
can't
comment
on
that.
I
can
say
that
risk
to
due
to
fire
is
a
major
concern.
A
It's
a
major
concern
for
us.
We
have
a
lot
of
sros
built
throughout
the
province
that
are,
you
know,
70
80
years
old
and
the
the
Investments
that
were
needed
to
keep
them
up
to
keep
them
at
a
high
standard,
just
weren't
made
decades
behind
when
it
comes
to
the
Investments
that
are
needed
not
only
to
maintain
the
existing
stock,
but
to
also
build
additional
units.
A
On
the
speaker
now
the
member
talks
about
accountability,
Auto,
speaker
accountability
is
when
you
see
something
to
take
action
and
make
sure
that
when
the
report
is
available
to
make
it
public
now
the
member
laughs,
he
think
maybe
he
thinks
the
leader
of
the
optician
thinks
this
is
funny.
This
is
not
funny.
This
is
a
very
serious
serious
issue,
wrong,
speaker
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
fair
for
the
public
to
say
why
were
issues
raised
in
2012
and
nothing
was
done.
A
Why
was
in
2015
a
note
sent
to
the
opposition
when
they
were
in
government
saying
something
is
definitely
not
right
here
and
despite
past
notifications
to
various
parties
of
potential
for
the
CEO
to
be
in
direct
conflict
of
interest,
these
infractions
are
still
occurring.
Nothing
was
done
honorable,
speaker
and
I.
Think
it's
fair
for
the
public
to
be
frustrated.
Honorable,
speaker
I
think
it's
fair
for
the
public
to
be
frustrated,
but
I
can
share
with
the
members
with
that
when
the
premier
saw
action,
he
saw
an
issue,
he
took
action
and
normal
speaker.
A
We
released
the
report.
We
released
the
report
without
redactions
on
our
speaker
and
it's
vitally
important
that
you
can
that
we
do
that,
because
we
want
the
public
to
know
that
when
we
see
recommendations
that
we're
going
to
take
them
seriously
on
our
speaker,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
our
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
housing
for
the
most
vulnerable
people
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
Work.
F
F
The
highly
critical
Ernst
young
report
released
during
the
Canada
Day
long
weekend,
the
buildings
that
the
premier
announced
now
on
the
evidence
list
of
the
same
forensic
investigation,
buildings
in
major
disrepair
and
now
a
third
report
that
the
premium
refuses
to
release
and
what
is
the
premier's
response
to
this
mounting
list
when
he
was
the
minister
responsible,
Mr
Speaker,
that's
more
than
triple
the
funding
to
the
same
agency.
That's
in
the
center
of
all
of
those.
C
F
You
wonder
why
Mr
Speaker?
Well,
maybe
it's
because
in
the
same
time
frame
the
head
of
a
jury
was
bragging
openly
bragging,
but
how
they
were
pressuring
and
manipulating
the
government
to
get
whatever
they
wanted
out
of
them.
At
the
same
time,
this
creamer
was
tripling
their
funding.
So
again,
when
will
there
be
any
accountability
for
this
premier's
role
in
BC
housing,
Scandal
and
when,
where
there'll
be
actual
consequences,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
honor
speaker
again,
so
many
facts
that
are
incorrect.
There
I,
don't
know
which
one
to
start
on,
but
I'll
I'll
take
a
crack
at
a
couple
of
The,
Honorable
speaker.
First
off,
when
the
premier
saw
an
issue,
he
took
action
right
away
on
Old
speaker.
He
called
for
an
investigation
members.
A
He
saw
information
that
he
thought
deemed
an
investigation
brought
in
an
outside
team.
A
forensic
investigation
was
done.
The
report
was
made
public.
Now
the
the
members
talk
about
additional
dollars
going
into
a
Terra.
They
failed
to
mention
in
their
in
their
remarks
that
in
fact,
terrorist
funding
went
up
800
percent
when
they
were
in
government
as
well
800
honorable
speaker,
so
it's
it's
convenient
for
them
to
talk
about
the
period
of
the
pandemic
and
I.
A
Think
it's
important
to
note
honorable
speaker
that
during
the
pandemic
Yes
we
made
historic
level
Investments
historic
level
Investments
to
support
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
our
Province.
We
are
proud
of
the
supports
we
provided
to
people
to
support
them
during
that
very
very
challenging
time.
We
know
that
the
most
vulnerable
or
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
pandemic
we
made
funding
available
the
BC
housing
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
that
funding
is
important.
A
At
the
core
of
the
issue,
is
it's
not
that
the
funding
increased
for
VC
housing
to
it
support
the
most
vulnerable
people
at
the
core
of
the
issue.
Here
is
that
the
former
CEO
used
his
means
his
power
within
BC
housing
to
help
direct
Awards
to
to
the
CEO
of
Terra.
That
I
think
is
the
core
of
the
issue,
honorable
speaker,
and
that's
why
we
felt
the
report
needed
to
be
made.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
I
I
appreciate
the
minister
for
housing.
Talking
about
supporting
the
most
vulnerable
I
think
that
that
is
the
role
of
of
government
we're
staring
down
a
summer
of
more
wildfires
potential,
extreme
heat
in
a
couple
of
days,
we're
expecting
35
degree
days
in
the
middle
of
May.
This
government
has
had
six
years,
three
record-setting
Wildfire
Seasons,
a
devastating
heat,
Dome
and
unprecedented
floods
to
understand
just
how
serious
climate
disasters
are
warning
people
that
it's
hot
won't
help
when
people
have
nowhere
to
go.
G
It's
this
government's
jobs
to
protect
the
lives
and
in
particular,
as
the
minister
says,
support
the
most
vulnerable.
My
question
honorable
speakers
to
the
premier:
where
can
people
go
to
get
out
of
the
Heat
and
how
does
he
expect
the
most
vulnerable,
including
the
elderly
and
people
with
disabilities,
to
get
there.
A
Thank
you
so
much
Ronald,
speaker
I,
really
appreciate
the
members
question.
It
is
certainly
top
of
mind
for
us,
given
that
we
are
seeing
warmer
temperatures.
I
can
share
with
the
member
that
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
I
met
with
doctors
from
across
the
province
talking
about
how
we
can
collectively
help
the
most
vulnerable
people
and
make
sure
we
have
policies
in
place
not
only
in
the
short
term,
but
also
long-term
policies
to
support
people
through
what
will
be
I,
suspect
warmer
temperatures
as
we
move
forward.
A
A
We
have
specific
cooling
rooms
in
at
sites
within
buildings,
and
work
is
being
done
right
now,
adding
window
films
and
external
shading
and
retrofitting
from
some
sites
that
with
heat
pumps,
honorable
speaker,
but
we
also
I,
think
talked
about
what
we
should
be
doing
over
the
long
term
and
I
can
share
with
a
member
that
we
talked
about
updates
to
BC,
housing's
design,
guidelines,
construction
standards
to
integrate
passive
and
active
cooling
measures
to
better
support
ventilation
and
filtration
systems.
So
I
agree
with
the
member.
A
lot
of
work
has
to
happen.
G
G
Last
year,
the
chief
coroner
recommended
giving
air
conditioners
to
the
most
vulnerable,
the
elderly,
those
with
disabilities,
those
who
can't
move
with
ease,
but
this
government
has
missed
the
deadline
to
review
that
request
and
has
done
very
little
of
that's
new
to
save
lives
with
the
heat
that
we're
about
to
receive
and
I
appreciate,
the
The
Minister's
comments
on
what
is
coming,
but
we
are
three
two
years
since
the
heat
Dome
and
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
that
and
we've
missed
that
deadline
to
review.
My
question
again
is
to
the
premier.
G
H
Last
year,
honorable
speaker,
we've
we've
said
it
put
in
place.
The
health
effects
of
anomalous
temperatures,
Coordinating
Committee,
which
does
this
work
through
the
vccdc
and
health
authorities
and
other
leaders,
including
the
First
Nations
health
authority.
We've
added
significant
cooling
capacity
across
our
long-term
care
system
using
our
own
supports
and
supports
for
the
federal
government,
and
we
continue
to
work
to
improve
things.
D
Rock,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker.
When
it
comes
standing
up
for
SFU
football,
this
government
has
been
MIA
the
minister
even
stood
in
this
house
and
dismissed
a
successful
57
year
old
program,
as
in
I
quote
fledgling
end
quote:
this
is
a
provincial
University
and
it
falls
under
the
provincial
government
who,
at
the
very
least,
should
be
standing
up
to
support
these
student
athletes
and
its
alumni.
When
will
this
Premier
finally
show
some
leadership
and
actually
stand
up
for
these
student
athletes
and
call
for
the
reinstatement
of
SFU
football.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Speaker
I
appreciate
the
members
question
across
the
way
the
members
know
full
well
that
post-secondary
institutions
says
independent
institutions
determine
their
programming
as
best
they
see
fit
with
with
the
with
their
with
their
their
board
and
their
Administration.
I
will
say,
however,
that
SFU
has
hired
a
special
advisor
that
will
be
working
with
the
football
alumni
association
with
the
student
athletes
with
the
administration.
Around
steps
to
go
forward.
I
I
have
been
hearing
from
student
athletes
as
well
as
as
coaches
and
others
from
the
football
community,
and
there
there
is
certainly
frustration.
This
has
been
a
team
and
the
member
acknowledged
and
I
acknowledge.
This
has
been
a
team
that
has
been
around
for
a
very
very
long
time.
There
have
been
certainly
just
been
disappointment
around
this.
This
decision
that
the
institution
has
made-
and
they
are
listening
to
the
various
component
parts
of
all
of
this.
I
This
challenging
time
and
I
will
say
that
SFU
has
been
paying
particular
attention
to
the
student
athletes,
supporting
them
with
their
commitment
to
for
their
making
sure
that
their
needs
are
met
around
providing
a
counseling
services
and
other
supports,
but
Mr
Speaker
again
SFU
is
taking
leadership,
they've
hired
a
special
advisor
that
is
going
to
be
working
with
all
component
parts
of
the
situation
in
order
to
resolve.
What's
going
on.
J
It's
unacceptable
that
these
women
are
told
to
go
to
the
overcrowded
ER
for
even
the
most
basic
tests.
It's
unacceptable
that
many
are
left
to
scramble
trying
to
access
prenatal
care
from
as
far
away
as
Prince,
George
and
Abbotsford.
It's
unacceptable
that
many
of
these
women
and
their
partners
are
having
to
face
a
decision
of
possibly
moving
out
of
Kamloops
leaving
their
jobs
in
order
to
access
basic
care
that
should
be
available
in
Kamloops,
Mr
Speaker.
We
raised
this
question
three
months
ago
in
this
house
and
characteristic
of
this
government.
J
The
response
was
we're
having
meetings
we're
in
discussions.
Well,
since
then,
this
crisis
has
gotten
worse
and
worse
and
expectant
moms
are
increasingly
filled
with
stress
and
fear,
and
anxiety
and
I
want
to
quote
just
one.
Jenna
duclow
interacts
with
many
pregnant
women
in
her
role
as
a
director
of
community
services
at
the
YMCA
in
cameras
she
hears
every
day.
The
struggles
of
these
expectant,
moms
and
I
quote:
I've
met
multiple
moms,
who
have
no
care
and
have
had
schedule.
J
Tell
us
Health
virtual
doctor's
appointments
to
get
referrals
for
blood
tests
and
ultrasounds
these
same
women
have
no
idea
on
a
weekly
or
monthly
basis
how
they're
measuring
if
a
baby
is
growing
appropriately
or
if
they
are
missing
important
tests.
They
have
no
one
to
talk
to
to
ask
these
basic
questions.
One
mom
told
me:
she's
visited
the
emergency
nine
times
because
of
worries
about
her
baby.
The
inability
to
have
proper
care
is
causing
an
increase
in
prenatal
anxiety,
which
will
likely
cause
an
increase
in
postpartum,
anxiety
and
depression.
End
quote:
Mr
Speaker.
J
H
H
The
member
will
know
that
the
fee
for
service
model
has
proven
itself
to
be
ineffective
when
I
became
minister
of
Health,
our
system
was
overwhelmingly
fee
for
service.
He'll
know
that
more
than
3
000
doctors
across
BC,
including
480,
who
didn't
previously
provide
family
practice,
have
joined
the
new
payment
model.
Why
was
that
successful?
Because
we
worked
with
doctors,
we
have
honorable
speaker,
lead
Canada
in
the
Recruitment
and
the
hiring
of
new
nurses,
honorable
speaker
a
contrary
record
to
the
record
of
the
previous
government.
H
We've
done
that
by
working
with
nurses
and
nurse
practitioners
in
the
BC
nurses,
Union
and
communities.
Honorable
speaker
in
the
case
of
Kamloops,
we
are
working
with
doctors.
You
bet
we
are
honorable
speaker
to
find
and
put
in
place
a
permanent
solution
that
it
provides
maternity
care
in
Kamloops
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
this
work.
I'm,
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
resolve
this
issue.
K
You
honorable
speaker,
under
this
Premier
so-called
safe
Supply
program,
free
drugs,
like
Hydromorphone,
are
being
increasingly
resold
on
the
black
market
under
the
street
name.
Dilly's
dillies
are
five
times
more
powerful
than
heroin
and
carry
significant
risk
of
addiction,
sedation
respiratory
depression
and
overdose
death.
Yet
this
government
has
failed
to
track
Nuance
at
opio
use,
disorder
among
youths
and
the
general
population
resulting
from
their
policy
of
prescribed
and
diverted
prescription
opioids.
K
The
fact
is,
the
rapid
access
addiction
clinic
at
St
Paul's
Hospital
stopped
prescribing
Hydromorphone
last
February
because
they
see
more
kids
getting
addicted,
but
this
government
hasn't
told
anyone
about
the
risks
and
keeps
recklessly
plunging
ahead.
Despite
the
mounting
evidence
and
growing
concern
from
doctors
about
the
consequences
of
diversion,
the
premier
keeps
stubbornly
pushing
ahead
recklessly
to
expand
a
free
public
supply
of
addictive
drug.
So
why
is
the
Premier
careening
our
Province
down
a
path
and
flooding
the
market
with
a
publicly
supplied,
addictive
drugs,
five
times
more
powerful
than
heroin
without
any
guard
rails?.
L
Our
Public
Health
officials
are
front
line
addiction
specialists,
Health
authorities
have
come
forward
with
a
prescribed,
safer
supply
model
really
in
order
to
try
and
do
everything
that
we
can
to
separate
people
from
the
toxic
drug
Supply,
and
that
work
is
being
a
closely
monitored
and
evaluated
by
clinical
staff
across
our
Health
Care
system
by
Health
Canada
and
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
the
need
to
save
lives
by
separating
people
from
the
toxic
drug
Supply
by
providing
prescribed,
Alternatives
I
would
note
the
support
for
those
measures
across
our
health
care
system
across
this
house
as
well,
and
in
fact
yesterday
in
the
house,
support
for
prescribing
for
prescribed
Alternatives
was
was
was
stated
by
the
leader
of
the
opposition.
B
L
Issue
here
is
that
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
honorable
speaker
to
save
lives
in
the
context
of
an
unrelenting
toxic
drug
crisis,
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
do
that
under
the
guidance
of
our
Public
Health
officials
of
addictions,
Medicine
Specialists
of
our
health
authorities,
and
it's
best
really.
If
we
all
work
on
that
problem
together.
Frankly,.
M
M
They
are
going
to
be
on
their
local
playgrounds,
using
the
swings
they're
going
to
be
in
the
water
parks
and
they're
going
to
be
on
beaches
and
the
last
thing
families
want
to
do
is
have
their
child
bring
home
a
pack
of
Fentanyl
and
drug
paraphernalia,
which
has
actually
happened
under
this
premier's
watch.
So
parents
want
to
know
they
want
this
Premier
to
demonstrate
an
ounce
of
leadership
and
he
could
do
it
today.
Not
wait,
not
talk,
not
Dodge,
not
wheeze.
M
B
E
Thank
you,
honorable
chair.
The
issue
of
the
toxic
drug
Supply
is
a
major
challenge
for
government
absolutely,
but
certainly
for
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones
and
a
lot
of
those
loved
ones
are
kids
and
members
right.
This
is
killing
kids.
There
are
kids
who
are
taking
what
they
think
is
a
party
drug
at
high
school
and
they're
dying
of
an
overdose.
E
B
E
I
am
happy
to
commit
to
the
members,
on
the
other
side,
to
all
the
members
of
this
house,
British
Columbians
to
parents
of
kids,
that
our
government
will
work
with
local
government
Partners
to
make
sure
that
those
protections
are
in
place.
Nobody
wants
this
activity
and
we
will
do
something:
I,
don't
care
members.
So
the
members,
the.
B
E
E
C
B
E
Honorable
chair,
when
the
all
Party
Committee
came
together
to
tackle
this
in
a
serious
way
in
a
non-partisan
way
and
they
all
voted
in
favor
of
important
and
challenging
measures.
There
was
one
member
of
this
assembly
and
I
I,
don't
agree.
Members.
K
E
B
E
B
E
B
B
E
Our
economy
is
leading
Canada
in
economic
growth,
one
of
the
lowest
unemployment
rates,
we're
setting
records
on
trade,
twenty
thousand
new
jobs.
This
session
alone,
we
are
getting
results
from
British
Columbians
on
those
issues,
we'll
get
results
for
British
Columbians
on
this
issue,
and
we
can't
wait
to
continue
the
work.
Thank
you,
foreign.
